CHAMBERLAIN,S RECKLESS TALK.
Great Bitterness Aroused by His Ago
Speech-Alleged Threats Against Him.

Mr.. Chamberlains speech at Ago, in Scotland. IN
which he bitterly assailed the Giadstonians, &C
cusing them OF allying themselves with ed-handed
murders, and charged the Irish with outrages on
women, has greatly inflamed feeling against that
changeable statesman. 1t Is said he has received
numerous letters warning him that he will not leave
Scotland live. In one OF his speeches Mr.. Cham
berlain said: 'sThe opponents OF the crimes bill
have made an cutlery against the repression of

and menacing Chamberlain, cried: sit is not
characteristic Of the Irish to outrage women"
An attempt was made TO put the man out, but
Chamberlain cried out: 'Leave him alone" Then
he continued: "DO you want instances of insults

THE DEBATE ON THE COERCION BILL
In the house OF commons Sir Lyon Playfair re-
surned debate on the coercion BILL and said the
facts were not so serious In Ireland as the govern
ment represented. The percentage OF convictions
In England was a, and in Ireland 73. The paucity
OF detectionS in Ireland was due TO the fact that
the police were an armed military body and that
the people look on the law as their natural enemy
and this bill would increase their enmity He de-
nounced the several provisions OF the bill and re-
ferrd 10 the fact that 1876 coercion measures tried
on Ireland had failed II the government would
give Ireland institutions In accordance with Irish
sentiments order and prosperity would prevail.
